MLK Day *Freebie*

Hey Everybody,

So, do you work on Monday? We have the day off so we spent some time this week learning about Martin Luther King, Jr.

I did this activity for the first time this year, and I tell you, I had goosebumps when I cracked the eggs and heard my kiddos reactions. It took all those moments when we read books about "being yourself" {Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon} and "it's what's on the inside not the outside that counts" {Elmer}and combined it with two eggs, simply cracked, to get it - I mean, really get it. I heard oohh's and ahhs....

I'm not exactly sure where this idea originated - but I found it on Pinterest

Love the egg thing . . may have to do that tomorrow. . . did you read that right . . . TOMORROW! Yes we have school . . and the kids have school. . . so I will use your ideas. . Thanks, you're a peach for sharing it.PattySecond In Line

Hey Miss Holly, I did the egg thing today. . . I gave every two kids two eggs. I showed them how to crack it and how to open it into the bowl. . . Well it worked. . . for the most part. Only one child didn't quite hit their bowl to open it in. . . . Ha! Then they were timid of touching it! It was a good demonstration. Thanks for the cool idea. I also used the poem you put up there. You're my hero!PattySecond In Line
